The ABVTA was founded to provide member services such as continuing education, public awareness, and the promotion of animal care and welfare. We are a non-profit, non-union, member-driven organization led by a Board of Directors focused on advancing veterinary technology as a profession to better support the veterinary industry.

The ABVTA Board of Directors consists of a President, Past President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and three to six General Directors. Directors may serve up to three consecutive two-year terms, with the exception of the Vice President, who serves consecutively as Vice President, President, and Past President for a three-year term, in addition to any previously served time as a General Director.

Additional Board roles include liaisons to standing committees and special project chairs. All Directors contribute to ongoing administration, policy development, member services, and the annual and long-term strategic planning of the ABVTA’s activities.
